I don't know much about it, but it involves being stuck in a sort of not asleep not awake state, which is why you have dream-like experiences which seem completely vividly real. Very similar stories are heard about apparitions of ghosts, manifestations of angels and alien abductions and many such events can be so explained. My own mother had a very similar experience only involving an 'Angel of Death' and two of her closest friends.

I saw a show on sleep paralyssis that explained some of that. They say that when you are dreaming, your brain shuts down your motor control, so you don't actually, physically act out your dream. Some people get trapped, slightly awake, but still in this "paralyzed" state.
BTW, cool story Matthew.
